Ex pedition and its destination: the latter it, would be 'im prudent yet to mention. There are twenty sail of the line to be employed on the service, twelve of which.are to sail ; from Spithead with the troops that are to begin embarking so-morrow. Admiral OTW Y is to command them. He hoisted his flag this morning on board the Monarchs '74, Captain LEA, having arrived from London last night, whither he was called by a telegraphic message to receive his instructions. There are orders to embark fifteen les re giments here, with two cowponies of rif ,eight companies of artillery, and several squadrons of dra goons. The men of war are to take their lower deck guns out, and receive 600 troops each on board, which is considered a most exdeliknt arrangernent.— I understand that all the ships of war here, largennd • shish, arc under order's for the expedition, excepting the Donegal and dfricaine., Al l the ships will take flat bottomed . boats on hosid." We mentioned some time ago a gallant aaion, in which a small party of British soldiers, conskting-of the 51 st and 74th regiments, were conc e rned with the French at Lugo. This party, headed by Brigade Major ROBICRTS, .who was gallantly supported by Lieutenants HATCH and MAYPOWVisit, attacked the enemy at the point of the bayonet, and routed them, though much superior in numbers. Major ROMITS had his right hand shattered on this occasion, but killed the Officer by whom lie was wounded.-. The. Major submitted to the operation of having his hand cut off on. the field, which he bore with the utmost &Illness, and the two following .days rode 67 miles on horseback. ,There is reason to believe, that great discontents prevp in the Ftench armies in Spain. The 'Poles, Italians, and Germans, joined the standard of Buo- NArA lira in that country for the . sake of plunder, urged by representations of the immense wealth of the Nobility and Clergy, which would :become the' property of the invaders. The work of plunder , has 4iricabeen carried i to its utmost extent, and the:temp• tation exists no more. A quarrel at .Ferrol between the French and German Officers, will assist in shew.- ing the disposition to mutiny in the , !French armies.. At a feast which was attended, by the French and German Officers commanding the troops in,that port, it was, propo,ted•by the .tbriner to drink the health of King Jcsarh. Tho toast was rejetled by the latte'r; .tittles., the same compliment were paid to the Arch. Ataes. A scuffle ensued, - Swords were drawn, and sixteen Officers' were . killeJ.

The British fleet now off Ca riscrona is immediate ly to proceed to the Gulf of Finland. According to accounts received from travellers, as well as Captains of ships arrived froM Rusria, the measures resorted to by the Government of that country were the .most ,violent and severe. Seve ral vessels and cargoes have been condemned, viz. two at St. Petersburgh, and 'one at Revel ; more are detained there as well as' at Riga. The Captain and crews of such vessels as are found out to hive made use of false papers, are to be punished as if guilty of forgery,which punishment amounts.to little less than death, and the sameleveritris to be exercised to wards such travellers as are detected with passports of countries of which they are not natives.—(Carls cruna, Jane i 6, 1809.)
